I think you would need a TT but you could get both for best results. Honestly the Lipo is worse pain and bruising than the TT but the TT takes more post op attention.

I am contemplating a tummy tuck as well. But did you say that you want to have another child in 3 years? What are your doctor's thoughts about having a tummy tuck now and then getting pregnant?

No, I totally get it and I feel the same way. I've FINALLY arrived at the point where I'm doing what makes me happy and nothing is going to stop me. I just read some woman have to have a touch up afterwards due to stretching and I wondered what your doc suggested. Best of luck to you my realself friend!

What Doctor is going to do with your surgery

I'm looking at a couple of doctors at Encore and Vanity in Miami. Still in the early research stage though. Doctor's here in the Midwest are very expensive ($6-$9K) and the results are just mediocre. If I can get what I want done for close to $5k and the results are close to perfect, I'd travel for it. I saw some before and after pics of some work done by Dr. Omulepu that impressed me. Like I said, still in the research phase. Just had an honest conversation with my husband about what I want done. Not taking no for an answer, but I need to be practical, so heading south to get it done seems to be an easier pill for him to swallow. What doctor have you decided on going with?

In response to your request of my opinion..Don't over think it....just make sure you pic the right Board Certified plastic reconstructive surgeon...mommy makeover is an intense reconstruction.... Not just a lipo . I choose Ortega....he might not be aggressive with lipo but he is well experienced and had a lot if practice. He is more into safety, and prevention.... You can go to other doctors later for more minor procedures that dosent require cutting major nerves. Osaka is great with BBL, Liposuction. Perhaps he has enough experience with Mommy makeover now.... Also if you do recovery house makesure you HV your own bathroom and bedroom, that gets cleaned and disinfected every day.

When it comes to my body I'm really funny.I know my body is not in good shape at this time.wen it comes to my Boobies I'm really worried. I hate scars so bad. I really got to make the right Decision .i want these baby's to be in good shape..

I know. I hate scars too...lol...but I am soooo happy with my boobs...I w ill take these scars than those saggy sock drops...lol. And the incisions are so skinny.., it fades away , he did a great job...i did a lot of research, there are so many scary rezults out there and weird almost lumpy i stiching...like they just stuffed the tissues in and sown it so tacky. Am so pleased with mine, and I will probably do laser scar removal therapy in about a year. Another good doctor e is llorente, I think that's his name and also one orther doctor in Orlando. I tried to book Osaka for my lipo in April...but my coordinator did not recommend him....so I kinda got it. She didn't say No...she just kept coming back with my quote with Ortega or llorente. So I choose llorente....bcs I know Ortega will not suck much fats as I want....he will be like... Girl I don't want you to be bruised up and loose a lot of blood....lol...seriously.... Ortega has got to be the world most compassionate surgeon.... I think he is made $$$$$$$$....he doesn't need money ...lol....he just wants to help people.
